But the main thing is it's, as already stated, a visual check for wheel nut security.

You're all wrong!!
These drivers are even MORE **** than us Scoobynetters!
The reason they are there is because someone, a few years ago, on the LorryNet BBS stated that 'TinyTim' the Lorry Expert at TinyTim Motors, Cleethorpes had told him that he said seen a huge number of Lorry Wheels come off following the Oil Change.
Apparently, these lorries were being serviced in the Old Fashioned way - NOT the new age **** way ............. the engines were started straight after an Oil Change. No dancing round the lorry dressed as a Morris Dancer
Consequently, the wheels were falling off within 2 or 3 miles of the Oil Change .... the plastic indicators are actually supplied with the Oil and Filter set.
They tell the world that the **** Oil Change has been followed
